On 3 November 2025, Grandview Institution (GVI) and the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) jointly hosted a China–Germany Security Dialogue. Representatives from China and Germany discussed the impact of geopolitical crises, including the Middle East situation and the Russia–Ukraine war, on the international order and China–Europe relations.
Participants highlighted that China and Germany, as influential global powers, should not only assume their corresponding international responsibilities in responding to global instability, but also cultivate a sense of cooperative action and formulate sustainable security policies.
